Same here...went out w/ a couple falconers, AWESOME to watch the birds work. PLUS...you can hunt about anywhere. We were down by Missin Bay in San Diego. They'd release the birds (Cooper's Hawks) and we'd drive thru the brush w/ golf clubs scaring rabbits out. Bird MAY have weighed 18 oz, but it put the hurt on 5 lb jackrabbits. Also, you can do catch and release if the rabbits aren't really torn up. Falcons are really where it's at tho:
